Pro Tips
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste the cranberry sauce mixture before adding the meatballs, and adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more brown sugar.
- Add Flavor: Enhance the sauce’s flavor by incorporating additional seasonings such as garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, or a splash of apple cider vinegar for extra depth.
- Stir Occasionally: Stir the mixture occasionally during the cooking process to prevent the meatballs from sticking to the bottom of the pot and ensure an even coating with the sauce.
- Keep Warm Function: Once the meatballs are cooked, switch the Ninja Foodi Pressure Cooker Pro to the “keep warm” function to maintain their temperature until ready to serve. This will ensure they stay hot and flavorful.
- Double the Recipe: If serving a larger crowd or for meal prep purposes, consider doubling the recipe and freezing any leftovers for later quick and convenient meals.
